35 Signs You’re Succeeding At Life (Even If It Doesn’t Feel Like It)

We’ve all had some rough days, or maybe months or even years of darkness, loneliness and depression. Whether we self-sabotage ourselves or we feel insecure, leading a happy life and a joyful life can sometimes feel like an impossible thing.

People often do better than they give themselves credit for. We’ve forgotten to appreciate the little victories, and often that is exactly what we need to do, rather than just trying to dodge life bullets. Life isn’t easy, yet it can be very exciting when we focus on the good instead of focusing on the bad.
